LMAO, true!
You know what’s funny (and sad actually)? Same-sex marriage isn’t a thing in my country. So a year ago, all I could do with my bf was something called a “registered partnership”, which is a bit…shit tbh.
Buuuuut, now I’m literally legally female, which means I can marry my man. Which is nice 🩷
It sucks that it works like that tho. Anyone should be allowed to marry the person they love :P
A little story of Iran vs transgender - its a wtf mess
NSFW text, much ugly and phobic and terrible, CW!!!
Iran vs trans girlies… Iran have very strict law against gay (les included) folks, often with most brutal penalty sentences possible. BUT, they have much less against trans, and they even are friendly (friendly™) towards! Gov simply accept some was born in wrong gender and even helps fixing that. All within binary world.
The gov fund hrt and even (poorly made) surgeries. If two gays wants to be together, is ok that one go mtf and they are fully legal now.
Same country also have terrible women right, for both “women” pre trans are women post-surgery.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_rights_in_Iran#Forced_surgery_for_homosexual_people
Historic context: A trans woman named Maryam Khatoon Molkara personally convinced first supreme leader of Iran to permit her transition, which made those rights recognized under shariah.
What the fuck…I mean good for trans people in Iran I guess, but also like…WHAT. That’s so weird…omg. I honestly don’t even know what to think of that…
Umm…thanks…for that? 💙
Also, fuck regimes that oppress women. Fuck them 🖕
Even if gov may fund hrt and (again - poorly made) surgeries… still terrible place.
Even a minimal possible gain for transfem, at cost of dealing with gay bros? Much nope!
Is it even a gain for transfem people? Forcing transfem people to choose between bottom surgery or execution is horrific. Informed consent is impossible like this.
Agree, sorry for poorly wording of mine.
With a 40% suicide rate for not transitioning, I think yes
Uh, are you sure the rate is this high? I have heard this figure too but I recall hearing it’s not about successful suicides (i.e. suicide rate) but about something broader involving suicides. Rate of suicidial ideation/contemplation maybe? Not sure.
Regardless, mandatory SRS will make many transfem people choose not to legally transition. That’s why similar laws in western nations (albeit only mandating SRS for legally changing official gender) were/are so awful.
I guess only criminalizing some transfems instead of all transfems is better but like only by a hair.
